C'mon, they're horrible right now.

This is probably the most retarded power poll in the history of mankind.

They have the Skins behind Dallas and Seattle, and barely ahead of Chicago.

This is why it looks so messed up. It really means nothing until the 8th week of the season.

Teams are ranked by a formula that combines the team's rating at the end of 2004, our 2005 pre-season projections, and 2005 actual performance. Each week, the first two items will become less important, and the last item more important. (2005 performance is now one-half of the rating, while last week it was just one-third.) By Week 8, we'll only be basing the ratings on this year's games, and starting the next week, we'll start using a formula that makes early games less important so that we can account for teams that are heating up at the end of the year.
